It’s been a couple of years since we learned of a sequel to David Cameron Mitchell’s hit indie horror, It Follows, and there hasn’t been much good news since. It was originally meant to shoot in 2024, then in 2025, but nothing came together. If you had quietly grown doubtful over it, well, cheer up.
Speaking at a recent Q&A event, star Maika Monroe confirms she will reunite with Mitchell for They Follow, with plans to shoot this summer. Financing has finally come together on the film, which takes place ten years later. Monroe says the script, likely by Mitchell, is “incredible”.
Released in 2014, It Follows starred Monroe as a woman who has sex for the first time with her boyfriend, only to learn that he has passed on a curse to her through intercourse. The curse, which will haunt and follow the carrier forever, can only be gotten rid of by passing it on to another by sleeping with them. The film cost virtually nothing and made a tidy profit with $23M globally.
Monroe can be seen right now in Reminders of Him, the latest Colleen Hoover adaptation. Coming up for Mitchell this August is The End of Oak Street, a sci-fi film starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor.
